About: Growing up my family has always had dogs from seniors to full litters of puppies. Hiking and exercise have always been vital in our dogs care. Dogs who are house trained are free to roam in and out of the house during the day with use of a dog door and fully fenced 6ft fence outside with 0.5 acres to run around. I take my dogs on walks everyday and would love to include yours as well! Weekends work best for me as I do have work during the day on the weekdays, but I am happy to try and work around my schedule to watch your dogs :) I have a large fenced yard with two dogs who love to be active and play well with others of all sizes both inside and outside as they want.

16. Kayleen B.
About: This is a whole family effort! Though I will be the primary care taker, my kids love to play with and enjoy walks with dogs, with my supervision. We have been wanting a dog of our own to love, but have decided to just love on yours for now. For this reason, only kid-friendly pets please.☺️ We know that dogs can get nervous staying in new places, and we will do what we can to help your pup feel comfortable, including hand-feed them if applicable. Let us take good loving care of your baby!💚🐶 I do not work outside the home, so I will be available all day to give your dog a companion to follow around and play with! I have a partially fenced in LARGE yard, and would encourage you to bring a long cord for them to run on. If you feel they would stay near us while off leash, I'll trust your judgement! They will have free reign of our main floor indoors.


17. Travis C.
About: I have trained and raised dogs since I was little. We have experience with Saint Benards, Bernese Mountain dogs golden retrievers and Newfoundlands. We like big dogs! I am a stay at home dad and have all day to provide care and help with any needs your dogs may have or need. Well behaved and trained dogs can be in our house or out in the backyard. Our dogs are about 50/50 inside and outside mainly because our newfy gets hot regularly


18. Sammy M.
“Sammy is a lifelong lover of animals, she often notices the smallest changes in health or behavior quicker than anyone else. She has a playful yet gentle touch and shares an exitiable and friendly nature with any dog she meets.”


19. Wen Hsin S.
